Let’s Do Some Time Traveling Together 🙂
Before you think I’ve lost it (and believe me, sometimes I think I have ;-), this is actually a fascinating topic. It straddles the “woo woo” magic of manifestation, and thoughts become things, as well as studies that have been done on the power and mystery of the subconscious and conscious mind.
So hang out with me. for a few minutes. I promise I’m not gonna get too woo-woo, and it’s gonna be fun—promise!
Have you ever wished you could seek advice from some of history’s greatest minds in history and in the present?
Let’s imagine that you’re sitting down with Albert Einstein, Olive Ann Beech (who started Beech Aircraft with her spouse), Andrew Carnegie, Marjorie Merriweather Post ( Former CEO of General Foods Corporation), or Warren Buffet, and having a heart-to-heart about your most pressing entrepreneurial challenges. (Or it could be Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Wayne Dyer, or even Louise Hay. 🙂
What’s the most pressing issue that you would want to ask them for guidance?
What insights, ideas, and inspiration would you want from them?
How can they help guide you right now?
I think this is one of the coolest exercises out there. And I first read about it in Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. He calls them “Invisible Counselors.”
And I, of course, want to change that to—my “Board of Advisors.”
Here’s how this exercise works—and how you can travel back in time, in the present, or into the future of your mind…
- Select Your “Board of Advisors:” They can be historical or current figures, influential personalities, or mentors you admire and wish you could talk to. Ensure they have the qualities, values, and belief systems that resonate with you.
- Set a Regular Practice: Dedicate a specific time each night before bed (or in the morning) for this exercise. Turn off all your electronics, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to relax. Make sure your inhales are a count of 4, and your exhales are longer to a count of 6. This will help you enter a deeper relaxation mode.
I’d recommend doing this every night for several weeks or more. Start off with one night, and as you continue doing it, you will start to feel more comfortable. It may feel a little weird at first, no worries, just go with it. What’s the worst that could happen? You could fall asleep! 🙂 - Visualize and Interact With Your Board: Try to vividly picture each advisor’s voice, expression, and mannerisms. Engage with them as if they’re real. Ask your questions or tell them about your challenge. Then allow the interaction to flow naturally. The session may last 5 minutes, 15 minutes or more. No judging, and no time limits. Just see what happens. This is an adventure into the unknown!
- Reflection After Your Session: Make sure you have a pen, paper, or your phone to write down any insights, advice, ideas, or solutions that come to mind. And it’s totally ok if you don’t get the idea or solution right away. It may come the next day, or days later. Sleep on it, give it time, and your guidance will show up.
- Implement Their Guidance: Take any actionable steps based on the ideas and advice you’ve received. Integrate whatever insights you discover into your business and your life.
What I love about this exercise, especially if I’m stuck and blocked and not sure of the next steps or need a boost, is that I always get some insights that propel me forward. They just pop into my head out of nowhere. Plus, I always make sure I have my phone and write in the “Notes” app or on a piece of paper.
The power of the mind is pretty incredible and extraordinary. I shared a story with you last year about how I was stuck in a rainstorm, locked out of our summer home in Maine, and didn’t have the 4 numbers to get the lock open. Until I closed my eyes, asked for help, and got them, and it worked! CRAZY, I know. The power of the mind is pretty fascinating.
Then, you add the power of your imagination, and amazing things can happen. When you engage in this type of mental time travel, you’re leveraging your mind’s creativity to get a fresh perspective, a solution, or new ideas. You’re opening up your mind to many more possibilities and creative problem-solving.
Trust in your intuition, in your inner knowing.
Each night you’re basically programming your subconscious mind to work on this problem overnight.
Your subconscious is a powerful tool that is capable of processing information and finding solutions that your conscious mind can’t see. When you set an intention to do this nightly, you will tap into a deeper well of wisdom and insight that can guide you throughout the day.
This process can also be used on just about anything. You don’t have to limit it to entrepreneurial pursuits.
This technique could be transformative.
Over time, Hill found that it became an incredible source of guidance and inspiration. It’s not just about solving problems and getting guidance—it’s a path to deepen your self-awareness and growth.
Remember, this practice is about using your mind’s power to enhance your life.
It’s also in alignment with Soulful Marketing, which emphasizes authenticity, connection, and personal growth.
By engaging with the wisdom of the ages, you’re not only solving problems but also stepping into a more inspired, purposeful version of yourself.
It’s about more than just solving problems—it’s a path to deeper self-awareness, growth, and profound personal transformation.
So why not give it a try tonight? Close your eyes, invite your board of advisors (or your guides), and see where the conversation takes you. Trust in your intuition and the process, and watch how it transforms your life.
Feel free to share your experiences with me. I’m here to support you on this incredible journey of discovery and growth.

Paragraph I’m Pondering
“Infinite riches are all around you if you will open your mental eyes and behold the treasure house of infinity within you. There is a gold mine within you from which you can extract everything you need to live life gloriously, joyously, and abundantly. Many are sound asleep because they do not know about this gold mine of infinite intelligence and boundless love within themselves.” ~ The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy

- This picture of Emma just feels like she needs to have a cigarette in her paw or something. She looks kind of like a chill gangsta.
- My sister’s cat, Charlie, made an appearance when I was in Houston last week. I like her black mustache. She was a stray that is now a house cat.
- Can’t beat the big ole sunflowers in the gardens around my neighborhood. That yellow and big ole center is just a true work of nature’s art.
- This dog—she’s just a photo hound. The backdrop was this amazing sunrise amidst the 110 degree week hot streak.
- Never have enough signs – This one was trying to compliment or maybe just wanted to tell the hot weather to move along.
